Love Canyon course

Play mountain and canyon course.

Mountain course is always busy, so the pace of playing is various and depends on players.

Love canyon course so much. Somewhere feels that is better than Eagle Ridge course layout.

It was so quiet yesterday. Felt peace, perfect weather and wonderful view.

Must Play

For the money, you can’t beat it. If you don’t want to drop the cash for the big names in the area, you will have a blast here for under $100 during the week. I did! Super fun course.

Difficult… but awesome!

We unfortunately played this beautiful course less than 24 hours after a lot of rain. It was very wet in the tee boxes and fairways. Greens were perfect! Bunkers hadn’t been raked yet. We played lake then mountain 9s. Lake was difficult and had a lot of tough tee shots and hard to access par 3s. Mountain was absolutely beautiful with the rolling hills and tall mountains in the background. Also a difficult 9. Had a lot of fun and scored ok. Would love to play this course when it’s dry.

Should've checked the weather report

I should've checked the weather report before I booked the round. I saw a hot deal for me and 2 other friends for only $41.99 each and jumped at the chance to play this beautiful course. I realized as I finalized the tee time my luck was most likely due to a last minute cancellation. Hence the price. This course is still a great deal when the price is double. I then wondered why 3 spots would cancel suddenly at such an incredible course, when I realized the clouds outside were starting to get thicker and darker by the minute. Realizing I wouldn't be refunded or given a rain check after I tee'd off, I decided to go for it. I immediately regretted this decision. It poured down so much, it looked and felt like I had gone swimming with my clothes on. My umbrella snapped in 2 pieces cause the wind was so strong. What was supposed to be a fun day with my boys turned into a miserable afternoon. In fact it was so miserable that I left after 12 holes. If you're thinking of booking a round, check the weather first. You'll thank me later.

Course under repair

I love playing Cinnabar but this time disappointed that they could charge full prices when tee boxes are under repair. Hold one on Canyon was under repair there were signs pointing to tee boxes that did not exist. Hole 8 tee boxes were also non existence. The fairways were good and greens very fast and hard. Will wait a few months until play again
